Hello, Huw here, in for Zane tonight on Radio 1 for One Night Only. Tonight, I've made the 'Hottest Record in the World' the 'Coldest Records in the World'. First up, brand new from the XX a b-side to VCR their next single called 'Insects'. My favourite band of '09 do the lushest vocals and the coldest beats to devastating effect. And the second Coldest Record in the World? Little Drummer Boy, in time for Chrsitmas, from Norwegian producer Lindstrum, available as an exclusive bonus with his forthcoming album, and orginally a 40 minute version. Don't worry, this is the four minute version. Nice!

Boom. Pow. Just like that Animal Collective give us more music. A brand new EP. 5 songs. One of which is tonights Hottest Record. Complete with a Grateful Dead sample. Crafty. That and creators of one of, if not THE, album of the year. Metacritic will unveil in good time.

Tonight's Hottest Record is a follow up. Played at the end of show last night, the new Laura Marling is a typically wisened observation set to delicate acoustic instrumentation.
Great reaction from her fans on text. Details about the new album are thin on the ground. But we know it's finished and due out next year
